1988 Raleigh Tornado Outbreak - Additional Tornadoes

Additional Tornadoes

Shortly after the Raleigh tornado formed, a second supercell produced a weak (F1) tornado near Alberta, VA and I-85.

After the Raleigh tornado dissipated, the parent supercell spawned a weaker second tornado (F2) that caused minor damage in a brief touchdown near Seaboard, NC. The storm then spawned a third (also F2) tornado that produced $500,000 in damage in Southampton County, VA, Isle Of Wight County, VA, and the City of Franklin, VA.

Meanwhile, a third supercell later produced weak (F0 and F1) tornadoes in Pamlico County, NC, Hyde County, NC, and the Manteo area on Roanoke Island in Dare County, NC.

Famous quotes containing the word additional:

    The mere existence of an additional child or children in the family could signify Less. Less time alone with parents. Less attention for hurts and disappointments. Less approval for accomplishments. . . . No wonder children struggle so fiercely to be first or best. No wonder they mobilize all their energy to have more or most. Or better still, all.
    Adele Faber (20th century)
